Paul, could you take a look?

Lower the priority because this seems a Nightly-only bug. And Paul is aware of this issue.

I've confirmed that this issue is only reproducible on Nightly, not Beta. This is due to the default cookieBehavior value.
Nightly already has TCP enabled, and we're not targeting it with our rollout experiment.
